S.J.Res.65

Missouri SJR65 amends the state constitution to revise the requirements for initiative petitions.

Missouri SJR65 modifies the constitution to change how initiative petitions are handled. It repeals the existing section 50 of article III and replaces it with two new sections. The new sections require initiative petitions for constitutional amendments to have a specific enacting clause and be signed by eight percent of voters in two-thirds of congressional districts. Petitions for laws must contain a single subject, have a specific enacting clause, and be signed by five percent of voters in two-thirds of congressional districts.
